Glory all the way

Chapter 26
After returning from Chenghuan Residence, Bai Yingluo's expression was much better than when she went out in the afternoon, which made Liusu and Liuying, who had been worried all the time, feel relieved.

After resting for a while, it was time for dinner, Bai Yingluo got up and went to Qing'an Hall.

Every year on this day, the Jing'an Hou Mansion eats a whole day of vegetarian food, and after so many years, it has become the default practice.

When dining in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, there was a habit of not talking when eating, and because of the special day, even a few young children were restrained from playing and talking, and the room became more and more quiet. .

After the meal, after talking for a while, the old lady Bai waved her hand wearily, signaling Xue and the others to step back, leaving only Bai Yingluo by her side.

"Grandmother probably knows why you said that. It's just that this is not something you, a girl, should worry about. Grandmother just doesn't know, and you can't bring it up in front of others in the future. Remember?"

Pulling Bai Yingluo over to sit beside her, the old lady Bai reminded her kindly.

With a lump in her throat, Bai Yingluo nodded.

On the side, the old lady Bai continued: "Although your uncle and aunt are in charge of the house, but with grandma around, no one can make decisions about your affairs, so be good, don't think about so many messy things, It is only decent to take good care of your body. Grandma will protect you as long as she has a breath. "

If the first few sentences reassured Bai Yingluo, the latter sentence would be a bit sentimental.

Looking up, under the dim light, the old grandmother has silver hair, and her face is full of furrows and wrinkles. When she is usually happy, she looks radiant, but today she is melancholy and worried again and again. The old man looked a little older, Bai Yingluo couldn't bear it, and the circles of her eyes instantly turned red again.

Fearing that the old lady Bai would cry with her, Bai Yingluo burst into a smile, sniffed her nose to hide the tears, and obediently snuggled into the old lady Bai's arms and replied, "Grandmother, Luo'er remembers it. In the afternoon, it's Luo'er." The son is ignorant, and he said it for a while, and he will never do it again. Luo'er swore in front of the spiritual tablets of his father and mother that he must replace them to honor his grandmother. Luo'er will definitely not break his promise, so grandma, rest assured , your body is in good health, and your life will be prolonged, so father and mother will feel very pleased if they are in the spirit of heaven."

Heaving a sigh of relief, the old lady Bai nodded in relief, and told Bai Yingluo a few interesting stories about Bai Shiming's childhood as if reminiscing, and only let Bai Yingluo go back when it was getting dark and it was time to rest.

Back at Yi'an Pavilion, Liu Su and Liu Ying had already made their beds, and on the brocade table, there was a bowl of warm medicine, Bai Yingluo drank it in one go, and hurriedly took the honey from Chen Xiang's hand I rinsed my mouth with water.

Lying back on the bed again, he felt very clear-headed, perhaps because he had slept too much these past few days.

After thinking about it, Bai Yingluo felt a little sorry for Bai Shiming and Liu Shi when she thought that the old lady Bai had reached the age of caring for her life, but now she had to worry about her own marriage.

But marriage is a major event in a girl's life after all, and she has no control over it. Although she feels a little guilty, Bai Yingluo can only sigh helplessly, while thinking about whether there is a way to solve it.

"Miss……"

Came in from behind the screen, Chen Xiang put the folded clothes into the closet, walked over and stood beside Bai Yingluo.

Bai Yingluo sat up, pointed to the little man in front of the screen, "Sit down, let's talk."

Chen Xiang came over and sat at Bai Yingluo's feet with a small scorpion, and said straight to the point: "Miss, I have found out clearly that every time Mrs. Beining came back to the Hou Mansion, not only the eldest lady accompanied her, but also the second lady was present. At first, the eldest lady's The attitude is also resolute. After all, there is only the young lady left in the third room, and the old lady has always been taking care of her tightly. But for some reason, in the past few days, the attitude of the eldest lady has gradually shown signs of loosening. Therefore, These days, Mrs. Beiningbo has been running more and more frequently."

Thinking about the meaning of Chen Xiang's words, Bai Yingluo asked hesitantly: "You mean, the second lady is causing trouble?"

Chen Xiang hesitated for a moment, then Fang nodded, "Mrs. Bei Ning asked someone to send a brocade box to the Second Madam in secret. The servants don't know what is in the box, but after that, the Second Madam searched for it. After going to Mingya Garden, the lady's attitude softened."

Putting her palms together, Bai Yingluo only felt that there was nowhere to vent her anger, but at the same time, she was trying to figure out the meaning of the second lady's move.

Bai Yingluo has been raised in the second bedroom since she was a child. Even if she raises a cat or a dog, she may have some affection, let alone Bai Yingluo is a real person.

From being a baby in her infancy to being a young girl now, the second wife is so cruel, she wants to marry herself into the Zhongyonghou's mansion, to give joy to the sick son who is dying?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the sense of powerlessness in Bai Yingluo's heart became more and more serious.

And Chen Xiang at the side seemed to have guessed what Bai Yingluo was thinking, and said in a low voice with some resentment: "Miss, no matter how sick the son of Zhongyonghou's mansion is, he will have the title of son after all. The Holy Majesty's will is even more difficult to predict the future wealth, and the Second Madam is afraid that this is the idea."

That's right, if it's not her own daughter, the second wife is naturally ruthless.

If Bai Yingluo gets well in the future, the second wife who has raised Bai Yingluo will also get well, but if Bai Yingluo is not good, people will only talk about the water splashed by the married daughter, let alone, Bai Yingluo originally belonged to the third wife, and the second wife has raised her for so many years, which is considered as the utmost kindness.

In the end, for Bai Yingluo to marry into Zhongyonghou's Mansion, it would be of great benefit to the Second Household, and there would be no harm to the Second Wife, so I can't blame the Second Wife for being so enthusiastic about lobbying for this matter.

"Young son of Zhongyonghou's mansion, do you know much news?"

Not wanting to think too badly about the second room, Bai Yingluo sighed lightly, and asked about the other party.

Chen Xiang shook his head, "That son was a little weak from the womb, and he has never put on a mask in front of people for so many years, so no one knows whether he is round or flat. A good tonic will last my life, and I have reached the age of seventeen or eighteen years old, but since the spring of this year, I heard that I often fall ill. The imperial doctor in the palace shook his head when he saw it. gone."

With such a body, no matter whether it is a prostitute or concubine, the girl who married will be married to her for a lifetime after all, no wonder the Zhongyonghou Mansion is so busy, still no one is willing to marry their daughter.

Although she felt a little sympathetic to that person in her heart, but thinking that the Zhongyonghou Mansion had already entangled her with a relentless appearance, Bai Yingluo's sympathy immediately flew to the sky.

"Fortunately, the attitude of the eldest aunt is only a little loose, and she doesn't agree with them."

This is probably the luckiest of misfortunes, Bai Yingluo said helplessly.

"Yes, but this time, I don't know how long it can last..."

There was some emotion in the words, and there was a lot of melancholy in Chen Xiang's eyes.

"Tomorrow, I'll write a letter to Eldest Sister. You send a safe servant girl to the Yan Mansion and hand it over to Eldest Sister. Now, I can do a little. After all, Grandma is old, and I can't pay her back. Just like before, be an innocent little girl."

Talking softly, Bai Yingluo spoke to herself again, "The elder sister has been married for three years, and the third elder sister also got married last year. The eldest sister now has only one girl, the seventh younger sister."

"That's right, but I heard that the eldest lady doesn't like her very much even if the third lady is still in the mansion. The eldest lady, like the old lady, has always attached great importance to the concubine and concubine, and only wants to save face for the concubine and the concubine. But she doesn't like getting close very much. From the looks of it, even Miss Wu and Miss Wu, Da Furen should be extra friendly."

Chen Xiang responded.

Nodding her head, Bai Yingluo suddenly had an idea in her heart.

"In a while, you choose a few noble and elegant patterns, cut them out and prepare them. I will make a pair of shoes and socks for my aunt tomorrow."

Bai Yingluo looked up at Chen Xiang and ordered.

"Miss, what is this?"

Chen Xiang was puzzled.

"People say that a daughter is a mother's caring little padded jacket. The eldest sister is now a mother. When she comes back to the mansion, the eldest aunt treats her like a child. It can be seen that the eldest aunt likes girls in her heart. My son. Besides, now that my aunt has her eldest brother and fifth younger brother, she definitely has nothing to ask for. If I deliberately go for what he likes, she may not take pity on me. Although it is not a good idea, it is better than sitting still and waiting for death good."

Bai Yingluo said frankly.

Chen Xiang thought for a while, and echoed in agreement: "Miss's words are also reasonable. Now our Hou Mansion is headed by the eldest lady, if it is true that the young lady is married to Zhongyonghou's mansion, the second wife will be on the same page, but the eldest lady may not be. There are a lot of people in the capital, and it spreads around, and the lady's reputation has been ruined. Perhaps, this is the reason why the lady hesitated. The lady walked around in front of the lady, and saw the lady Well, the eldest lady is also a mother, so she has a heart of stone? Maybe, the heart that was loosened by the second lady will harden again. "

The discussion came to an end, and Bai Yingluo suddenly had a plan in her mind. Seeing that Chen Xiang got up and was about to go out, Bai Yingluo added another sentence behind her back: "Simply prepare an extra pair, I will also make a pair of shoes for my uncle, uncle. Treat me well on weekdays."

Chen Xiang nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

Lying back on the bed again, looking at the half-worn bed eel above her head, Bai Yingluo felt confident for no reason.

If she was really the delicate and noble young lady Bai Yingluo, in this life, she might have swallowed her anger and let them manipulate her, but she was not. In her bones, she was still the stubborn and strong mother of the Bai family Luo.

Now that she has lived a new life, she can no longer be bullied in this life.

Bai Yingluo muttered to herself in her heart.
